Sorry for the repeat questions but I'm not too knowledgeable on this; I thought BMI would have more false-positives (very muscular people for e.g.), but it seems you're saying false negatives are a greater concern.
Would that be people with extremely low muscle mass so they have a BMI that might only show as overweight but due to body fat percentage they're obese?
I'm curious why you think there's an obesity epidemic if BMI as bad as you claim. Surely this means the problem is blown way out of proportion and the obesity rates are actually much lower?
Sure, I'm not here to disagree, just trying to make a charitable interpretation of their comment for the purpose of discussion. Maybe a badly bent rim is more analogous, so just pretend that's the example used if that's more helpful.
